Pleas help me with pre calc:

they are asking you where the graph crosses the x axis, although you don't need the graph to know where sine is zero
on the other hand, you can see it from the graph it crosses the x axis infinitely often, since since is periodic can you tell from the graph?
yes it is infinite
y = sin(theta) = 0
so how would I tell them what I know the anwer choices dont make scence
what would be the answer
ok lets list some places where it crosses the x axis and then see if we can make sense out of the answers ' they are not written in the best form
first off, is it clear that the graph crosses the x axis at \(x=0\)?
-2pi 2pi 0
yes, but some other places too
yes clear at 2pi and -2pi and some others
for example, do you see that it crosses the x axis half way between 0 and \(2\pi\)?
yeah at 1pi
-1pi too
right, and also at \(-\pi\)
ok good, so lets list them \[...-2\pi,-\pi,0,\pi,2\pi,...\]
so the answer is the first one pik
??
yeah, what they mean by that is that it is zero at \(k\pi\) where \(k\) is any INTEGER for example if \(k=1\) you get \(\pi\) and if \(k=5\) you get \(5\pi\) tect
*etc
they were too lazy to write what they meant, you were supposed to read their minds
in enlish we might say "any integer multiple of \(\pi\)"
